Vibin Coders Course by Stephen Pope | Ship Your MVP

The Vibin Coders course is for builders who can spin up a demo with Cursor or Bolt.new… and then stall when it’s time to ship. The Stephen Pope course has you get it done: auth wired, payments in real time, container sent out, real URL given to users. Short meetings, real-time assistance, teammates you can count on.

Why this works

This is your chance to turn your idea into something real. Start with one feature, get it working, make sure it can log errors and handle credit card payments. Focus on building and reviewing your code now; you can worry about perfecting it later.

Who it’s for

• Startup founders who need a first MVP
• Automation pros who want a front end for tools
• No-code and low-code makers stepping into code
• Developers who want faster delivery with quality

What you’ll learn (the real stuff)

• Plan a tiny, honest MVP and cut the rest.
• Build a React/Next.js front end that talks to real data.
• Design backend APIs with REST endpoints (/api/users, /api/payments).
• Add Postgres + Prisma (or your stack) with sane migrations.
• Implement authentication (email magic links or OAuth) with JWT refresh tokens.
• Take payments in Stripe test mode, swap to live keys, and handle webhooks.
• Use GitHub flow (feature branches → PRs → reviews) so changes don’t explode.
• Package with Docker (node:20-alpine), add health checks, and deploy.
• Log errors, watch metrics, and roll back without sweating.

What you get

• AI SaaS Accelerator Framework in stages
• Weekly workshops and live coding with replays
• A builder community for patterns, PR reviews, and fixes
• Tool-agnostic guidance for Lovable.ai, Bolt.new, Windsurf, Cursor, Claude Code, and IDEs

Topics we cover

GitHub. Docker. Front end architecture. Backend APIs. Databases. Authentication. Payments. Deployment. Monitoring. CORS. Environment variables. Timeouts. Real world gotchas.

Outcomes

• A working MVP you can demo
• A simple pipeline you can reuse
• Faster delivery with AI and clean code
• Clear next steps for pricing, onboarding, and metrics

Format & pace

One live session a week, plus optional office hours. Replays are clipped and labeled (“Stripe Webhooks,” “Auth Bug Fix,” etc.). Expect one shippable feature per cycle.

Requirements

You’ll need basic computer skills, a GitHub account, and a willingness to share your work. It helps if you know some HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or scripting. If you’re just starting out, we’ll guide you to a 90-minute warm-up.

FAQs

Do I have to use a specific tool?

No. Bring Cursor, Windsurf, Lovable, Bolt.new—or a plain IDE. We teach patterns that travel.

Is this only for SaaS?

No. Many members build client portals, dashboards, or paid micro-tools. Same pipeline.

Will I get feedback?

Yes. Drop a PR in the forum or join live; you’ll get quick, practical notes.

How fast can I launch?

If you keep scope tight, a few weeks is common. We aim for usable, not perfect.

Do I keep access?

Yes—community, replays, and new workshops stay open while you keep building.
